Episode 17: Legal Design Mindsets or Met...

Tessa Manuello | Legal Design and High-Performance Coach 🔥🚀
About this episode

It's always very impressive to see Legal professionals embracing the mindset of designers significantly improve their services, their customer satisfaction, and their impact on society. But it is just a question of mindset? No.

It's also about using the right methodology, with the right tools, working with the right mindset. Recently, Tessa has given a full session on this topic inside the Online Academy (Cornerstones of Legal Design • if you want to look it up inside your member's area) and today she wanted to share some of the insights with you on The Legal Creatives Podcast!

Real talk: Legal Design is not easy. Maybe your first Legal Design project won't go exactly as planned. Maybe your project outcome isn’t what you wanted it to be. Or maybe you have no idea how to use the Legal Design process in the first place and so you never started! 

The great news is – you’re not alone. And the better news is, Tessa Manuello is here on The Legal Creatives Podcast to reveal all her secrets so you can develop unshakable confidence with Legal Design + use your Unique story to start making a difference while you build a more fulfilling and successful legal practice.

Tune in to discover why mindsets and methods are both equally important for your Legal Design success and how you can leverage your experience, knowledge and purpose to gain confidence on this trajectory.

This is just the start. If you’re ready to really dive into your potential as a Legal Design professional, join the Legal Creatives Signature Membership to access more material, including Tessa's Ultimate Legal Design Challenge, to get coached by her, and create your ultimate legal doc using the methodology ad tools. 

Highlights: 

• Legal Design is the application of Design thinking in law to create new legal services and new products, also more agile organizations for law firms and legal departments.

• The Toolkit is a way for you to have everything you need to be able to do Legal Design professionally so you can have the outcomes that you want and that your client expects from you.

• Tessa's most favorite tool and how you can use it to do absolutely everything when it comes to Legal Design and Innovation, including doing user research and hosting ideation sessions.
